More rapax questions (spoilers)

[Aelia Jusa]

I found the queen's deposit slip. Are there others, and if so, where are they?

Also, now I'm a templar, I know you have to kill Al-Sedexus to remove the hex that happens when you leave the rift. Does that ruin your reputation with the rest of the rapax? What about those at the away camp?

When I go to the savant tower, is there a portal that takes me back to the rift? I only have one person with a portal spell and I don't want to have to move it if I can help it.

Finally, how come when I'm a templar I can't leave the rift without being hexed, but all the templars at the away camp swan about un-hexed?

It's okay to kill her as this won't ruin your reputation. However if you kill the rapax templar that she summoned then this will ruin your reputation with the rapax.

When I go to the savant tower, is there a portal that takes me back to the rift? I only have one person with a portal spell and I don't want to have to move it if I can help it.

IIRC there is none, so you have to walk back to rapax castle ( fighting with tons of rapax on the way ). I'm afraid you have to do the portal spell thing then.

Finally, how come when I'm a templar I can't leave the rift without being hexed, but all the templars at the away camp swan about un-hexed?

It's a mystery to me too.

As Kakero said, killing off A-S does not, for some weird reason, make the Templars mad at you. However, during the fight, she might spawn in some Templars and that could sink your rep with them. If you have any KO or paralyzing weapons, this is a good place to use them.

The teleport to the Savant Tower is one-way. However, after the bomb is disabled, you can take an elevator platform down. After a really big fight, you can exit the tower to Arnika, and from there to the T'Rang teleport house, if it's open.

Remember the Away Camp only appears if you are carrying at least two of the cosmic doodads. I find the fastest way there is to teleport to the Rift, walk out and through the tunnel to the SE wilderness, then just keep left and you'll reach the camp soon enough.

Yeah, I've always wondered why the King has all those Templars and they don't get hexed. Maybe it's something special that happens to your character because he isn't a true Rapax.

You can kill all the Rapax that Al-S spawns as long as you don't drag them out of the chapel they appear in.
The unhexed are Rapax. You are not.

[Dang]

I think the Rapax in the away camp got permission from their demon goddess to go out after curfew. (Note: Curfew = 24 hours a day, every day). Besides, why do you think she was so willing to accept a new templar?

Spoiler about killing people:


You can sometimes kill people without totally enraging their group. I have an evil party that went around killing people as soon as they thought they didn't need them anymore. After saving Anselm from the Rapax, we promptly killed him. Imagine my surprise when I got the yellow message "Party's relation with the Brotherhood has decreased." When I went back to Arnika, none of the Brotherhood would talk to me, except the bossman (sorry .. I'm tired and drawing a name blank). Maybe he was happy about the promotion.

The Rapax were even kinder. After getting to their away camp, I chased off the Prince. I wanted to get to his chest, but his ladies wouldn't let me, so I attacked. Not only did some nearby Rapax Templars help me, but the Rapax Common were just "kinda mad" at me. I killed the Rapax King, and the Templars were just "slightly miffed" at me! Weird.

I just remembered, you can find 3 deposits slips from the safe in constable office. You need the Constable's key to open the safe.

I kill Al-Sedexus and then run if she has spawned Templars. It's better of course to have paralyzed or knocked her out in the first round, pre-spawn. If you reach the next area, the Rapax are friendly again and the chasing Templars are gone. If you kill a Templar you risk turning them all mad. You can try it and check out the next area to see if they are green or red before saving.

Scatter and I may remember this differently as I have killed them all in the Chapel but the Rapax were angry later. Maybe it has to do with what else is around (on radar?).

In my experience, you can kill about 4-5 of the summoned templar rapax, and they stay friendly. If you kill more, they become hostile. If you kill Al-Sedexus quick enough, she shouldn't summon more than one group.
You can kill the templar with instant kill spells without loosing your reputation (if you didn't hurt them first)

Thanks guys [img]smile.gif[/img] . I actually found the deposit slips after I posted these questions . Well, I'm going to do the bomb now then!
